The national coordinator of the OPC, Gani Adams has described
anti-grazing bill signed into law by Ekiti governor as highly commendable –
Gani Adams the leader of Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) said the law is a good
step in the right direction and should be applauded by all right-thinking
people across the country .
Speaking with Naij.com, Mr Adams said; “Going by the wicked records of
Fulani herdsmen who have turned the clean and clear rivers of their host
communities in the southwest area of the country into rivers that flow with
human blood, the action of Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose and the state
House of Assembly to pass the anti-grazing bill in the state is highly
commendable.” Speaking further, he added that the bill, which prevents herdsmen
from carrying weapons is indeed a good step in the right direction and should
be applauded by all right-thinking people across the country “It is no longer
news that the herdsmen have been acting with impunity in communities across the
southwest. They have killed, robbed and raped hapless citizens without any
action taken against them by the security agencies.
This seeming sense of insecurity and helplessness by the people is a dangerous
trend that portends danger for the peaceful coexistence of Nigerians. “These
days, not a day passes without a fresh news about the dastardly activities of
these men breaking. From the killing in Enugu, to Kaduna and other parts of the
country, it is the same sad story every day. “Ekiti State has set the pace and
showed us how to stop the senseless killings. I want to implore other state
governors, especially in the southwest, to follow this laudable example and
pass similar law that will restrict these herdsmen from their wicked and evil
actions. We all must remember that cattle business is a private business with
private interest. “Therefore, it should not be made to look to enjoy any
special favour by the government. The carrying and use of automatic weapons by
herdsmen should be outlawed and Ekiti State has shown the way. Also, leading
the praise-singers is former aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, who believes
Fayose and the people of Ekiti state have taken the right step to stop
rampaging Fulani herdsmen.
